PARIS March 1S.-There was IN interesting
race in the Bois. The contestants were on
horseback, and were thrcc In number. In
splte of tho fact that the Bols Is not laid oue
for racing, tho raco was Immensely interesting
and exciting-to the contestants, IL not to those
who chanced to DO tho spectators The goal
wns a magistrates ofilce. but the parties to
tho race were not criminals. Tho Baron Chal-
nier is one Of the richest men In Paris. He is
an enthusiastic horseman, and when his daugh-
ter Estclle came to the proper age which was
not long ago. he made arrangements to hnve

ployed the best teacher OF the art OF riding
known In the city-a tall blond young fellow.
nicknamed the "stirrup man." Hc had orders
to supply tho young lady with horse and escort
whenever she should desire to ride. for the
Baron could not think II possible for anybodyto
overdo the practice OF riding in tho saddle. But
presently he got warning that the young lady.
who seemed all devoted to eIuestrianism, was
really interested In another directions. and the
Baron deemed It the proper thing to order the
stirrup man to discontinue his lessons He
rode out into tho Bois for tho purpose Of effect
ing this. He met his daughter at the beginning

vc!opcd tho plan OF elopement. Having OUT
ridden the Baron, therefore. and by adroit
manGuvry, set him flying of in the wrong di-
rection, they proceeded to the city and hunted
up an obliging magistrate who made them
one. Then they hunted up the Baron to plead
for forgiveness. 1t is not as yet known whether
this mas been granted.
Every season has It's game or sport, and Just
at this time is the paper chase in full blast.
